Where to begin. It was 6 couples who came to Broken Bow for a friend's 60th birthday. This property was more than we could ever have expected. Everyone in our party could not believe what a great cabin this was and how well it suited us. Once here, we enjoyed the place so much, we only left once to go to dinner. The rest of the time we stayed put. There is so much to do and it is so beautiful, we wish we could have spent several more days. Any questions we had were immediately answered. And one mishap where one friend left her wedding rings showed us just how great this management company was. They immediately sent someone to the house to collect the rings and then made sure we got them back in a very timely basis. Additionally, we asked for a chef referral and a cake baker referral and we used both their recommendations and had the best luck with both. We would recommend them again and again. And perhaps we will have another group this size so we can rent this property once more. No complaints with this place for anyone that rents it!

My parents’ 80th surprise birthday getaway

We surprised my parents with a getaway to Broken Bow. There were 18 of us staying there. We enjoyed the house, the deck, and the outdoor games. We went to the lake all day one day driving two pontoons and tubing. We ate at various restaurants and played mini golf and we bowled. Very memorable time with family!

Excellent Cabin

We booked this cabin for my Dad's 70th birthday. We had a group of 18. My parents, my family, my brothers family as well as my sister's family. We had all age ranges and this place was PERFECT! We had plenty of gathering space when we all wanted to be together and enough room to seclude to our own areas for down time. We used every inch of this place and it was wonderful! The couch was perfect for snuggling and napping. The deck was where we ate and played cards. The kiddos absolutely loved the hot tub. The fire pit area was fantastic for s'mores. The beds were extremely comfortable and everyone commented on how well they slept. The loft area was perfect for kids and the foosball table was home to a family tournament. The views from the house were phenomenal and it was quiet and peaceful the whole time we were there. We were all extremely pleased with this rental. Close enough to town to explore but still far enough away that we were able to be to ourselves. I was nervous that the pictures on this listing would be deceiving, but that was far from the case. We LOVED staying here and we didn't want to leave! We will likely book this location again in the future!

Endless views!

The house was very clean, plenty of towels, comfy beds and very well stocked kitchen. We had 11 adults and one small child, we had plenty of beds and some we didn't even use. We loved the house and would consider it again for our next trip - if for nothing else for the view...which was stunning to say the least! I would say the only negative was the size of the patio - it appeared much larger in the pictures...it could barely accommodate all 11 of us at one time. The fire pit was nice and the fact that wood was already available for use, we used it two of the three nights which allowed us more room to spread out outside and played horseshoes. We made smores two of the three nights. We used the gas grill for dinner all three nights, which worked perfectly. The only other partial negative was the washing machine that smelled moldy and which you could see around the door seal but nothing that a good cleaning can't correct.

in listing it says road is steep but road isn't just steep it is falling apart. I don't know who maintains road so not 100 percent this is propertys fault but you should definitely know. I actually damaged the undercarriage on my car getting to it. house was nice but different cornhole than listed in pictures. also no way to clean grill so had to buy one dont worry i left it there so now you probably will have one. Worst of all you will not be able to communicate with property manager. I called twice and tried messaging 5 times over like two months and didn't receive any communication besides them wanting to get me to rent an extra day. it alsohas like 6 cameras. i get you are watching your property and making sure everything is going ok but 6 seems intrusive. nice but probably won't be going back.

Family time great house Not

Our family time together was great and what got us through. The house itself not so much. Upon arriving the door handle in the master bedroom to the outside broke off in our hand. Two chairs fell apart when children just sat down in them. The upstairs bedroom with the bathroom had wasp so no one could sleep I there as the wasp were always falling on the bed. The oven and stove were HORRIBLE. If a recipe called for an hour count on three hours. The grill outside took forever to cook even after changing the propane tank. It never would get hot. The crock pot even though it said it was on don’t work. There was some sort of electrical short at the switch outside. We would report every issue and someone would come out, there was a reason for all and they always said we will be back at 10 the next morning. Never showed back up in less I called about another issue. They would come out for that issue and never talk about the previous one. We were awakened at 1:30 in the morning by a noise complaint that said several reports had come in we were all in bed by 11 that night we had little kids so not a late night party going on here. Houses below us were partying and shooting fireworks.

Underwhelmed

The booking started off on a negative note. Booked and paid for two nights. No issues until the next day when the property manager sent an email that this was”peak season” and a three night stay was required. Well if that is the case they they should be smart enough to know how to set that with VRBO. Otherwise it is falsely advertising the property. Then was rudely told to pay up or cancel. Homeowner- you need a new property manager. She is doing you no favors toward the growth of your business The home was in a great location. However the property is a little worn. Needs some deep cleaning and fresh paint. Some safety issues with the back stairs leading to the fire pit. Wood is splintering off Also safety issues with the stairs. There is no light switch at the top of the stairs so we had to use or cell phone light to see our way down in the dark. Our guests were elderly which was difficult to get down the stairs with no hand rail on one side and phone in the other. The photos in the website are deceiving. Taken with a wide angle to make things appear WAY bigger than they really are. Bring EVERYTHING you need to cook including your pots and pans because almost nothing was provided. Most frustrating was every closest door was lock. Absolutely no where to put your hang up clothes except little hooks nailed to the wall. Why does every single closet door need to be locked? Toothpaste was still on the master bath sink and the house was picked up but I would not say clean. The roof leaked in one of the bedrooms. We have stayed in 10+ vacation rentals and this one was our least favorite. Too pricy for what you get.

My children asked me what gift I wanted for my 60th birthday and the only thing I could think of is having them all together in one place. The problem was, including the spouses and the grandchildren, we total 20! The search was on for the perfect place. This turned out to be the PERFECT place from start to finish. Communication with the management was quick, helpful and so accommodating! Upon arrival, I discovered the place was ready for us and spotless. Everything was in great repair and not a speck of dust. As each family member arrived, they were all amazed at the beauty of the place and the surrounding woods. We had everything we needed to cook, plenty of hot water and towels for all, and comfortable beds. We had the room to spread out and didn't feel crowded. Each adult had their own room and the young cousins loved staying in the bunkroom together. We will be back for another family reunion!
